Having problems with your Dell Dimension 3100 PC Desktop ?

No sound on computer, no beeps and no talking on videos

\015 My Dell Dimension 3100 Desktop does not play sounds.I bought a sound card driver program which my husband said I wasted my money, it made the beep sounds come back on the computer but it will sstill not play music or talking on videos. Now there are no more beep sounds.\015\012do you know what I can do to get the sound back and is there a way to get my money back on this driver detective program?\015

Answers :

The good news is that driver detective should be easy enough to get your money back, but you'll most likely have to wait days or weeks to see it again.\015\012\015\012As for the sound, Did the computer ever play sounds? Dell has a relatively easy to navigate driver download system on their website. You'll need your Service Tag (S/T) number to get the most correct driver.\015\012\015\012If you follow this link, then click on Enter My Service Tag, it will take you where you need to go get drivers for the Dell.\015\012\015\012you will need to have Flash installed on your computer for the website to work. You can download that free if you do not have it at www.adobe.com\015\012\015\012http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs\015\012\015\012good luck\015\012tony

Hi ELizabeth,These driver detective programs are junk. Start the system press F2 go inot the BIOs and make sure the onboard sound card is enabled. Reboot and see if you have sound. If this doesnt help perter me and ill try somthing else with you

Computer "turns on" i hear four to five beeps, but the monitor gets no signal. a friend gave me the computer, only once did i see it boot up fully but it froze up so i had to restart it and it wont work. everytime i try i get the same thing four or five beeps and monitor says no signal. so i dont know whats happening. its a gateway computer runing windows xp. thats all i know. i know the monitor is good cause i tested it on another computer.

Without knowing the exact frequency/length of the beeps my first guess would be a bad stick of ram or a bad video card. If there is more than one stick of ram in the computer try it with one of the sticks pulled, pulling each stick until it does boo ...
